HESI Report: Bending the Curve

How colleges and universities can graduate more students, faster.

Rethinking the course schedule poses a daunting challenge. The schedule is the foundation upon which all students' educational experience rest. Any solutions aimed to improve the schedule would impact the day-to-day activities of faculty, students, and administrators. Moreover, improving the schedule can provide immense impact to on time student completion and resources utilization.

Institutions that see an improvement in enrollment ratio generally see about a .553 percent increase in first-year retention.

Institutions who effectively manage their prime-time ratios, a range between 45%-67%, have ample accessibility where demand is the highest.

The greater the amount of scheduling inefficiency, the lower the graduation rate for institutions.
